Wal-Mart started to offer car insurance in 8 states Wednesday morning. The company is offering the insurance inside some Walmart stores, and online through the Walmart website.

The company plans to eventually offer insurance through the entire country, according to Joshua Kazam, Founder of AutoInsurance.com.

"The average customer in America pays $1,530 every year in auto insurance, and they're not quite sure if they're getting a great deal on that insurance because it's difficult to compare insurance from policy to policy," said Daniel Eckert, Senior Vice President of Services, Walmart U.S.

Wal-Mart created a partnership with AutoInsurance.com to sell customers insurance from national companies like Progressive, Esurance, Safeco and The General.

"If you were to try to compare quotes across multiple carriers one at a time, each one of those if you're using it online is about a 25-minute experience, and then you'll finally be able to get a comparison," said Eckert. "It's very complicated and confusing."

AutoInsurance.com is designed to let customers compare prices and services from the different companies.

AutoInsurance.com was founded in 2012, and ran a pilot program in Pennsylvania in 2013.
